The Neglected Ones .

I recently read this post over on Emily's blog, where she talked about 9 things she should really start using more and this lead me to think about what I need to use more and behold I found a few things that I really need to start using again!

Naked 1 Palette// Same as Emily, I was obsessed with this palette when I first got my hands on it..it was like my holy grail! Every day and night look I used to do had to have this palette in and since I bought other ones from UD and Sleek this had gotten a little rusty and I think its time I start using it again!

S&G Thick & Fast Mascara// I remember that Estée (essiebutton) mentioned this in one of her videos a long time ago and I decided to buy it and see if it was any good. It is such a nice mascara very thickening and for a long period of time I didn't use anything else beside it, but it seems that I have forgotten it exists! 

Maybelline Erase Eye Concealer// I have used half of this bottle already but then for some reason I stopped. And I mean all of a sudden, the reason is still not know to me either but I have to start using it again because it does what it says on the tin and covers my horrible bags.

Rimmel Apocalips// Another one same as Emily, something else I had to have because everyone raved about them. They are amazing and last all day so when I bought them in Superdrug I applied it straight away, much after I hated them but loved them at the same time?! Why? Well, they are amazing in colour and the formula is great but on dry lips these are  big no no.

Avon Nail Brighter// Remember that Nail Challenge? Hmmm, yeah I gave up a few weeks ago and have not been looking after my nails at all. I spent a £5 on this bottle of brighter/strengthener and it worked wonders within the first week but then I stopped because I thought the job was done. Lesson to be taught...always keep using a product.

Obession|Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick

If you haven't yet fallen in to the trap of buying these lipsticks then let me warn you that this post might just make you. I am the biggest fan of all lip products, and lipsticks are the one thing that I always go back to time and time again because the pigmentation and lasting power of them is incredible! To add to the mix Bourjois have bought out my current go to favourite products to wear these 'Velvet Lipsticks' and there is no other/better word to describe it because they honestly feel like velvet on your lips. 

It glides on smoothly on to the lip and with one stroke you have this intense bold lip colour (see swatch above). They need no time to dry and once they are dry they stay put all day and all night - literally overnight. I wake up in the morning with the colour still stained on my lips. They have a matte finish which makes me love them even more because you don't need to ever re-apply, or even blotch. I currently own four colours (in order of the swatches) Hot Pepper, Olé Flamingo, Frambourjois and then Nude-ist! That is four in total, probably after posting this I will no doubt buy more shades because they are just that great! Have you bought any yet? 

*warning you will want to go back and buy more*

Getting Organised| Why Lists Are You're Best Friend

IMAGE CREDIT
Here is a guest post I did recently..

Lists. Such a simple word yet to me and many of you it can mean our whole life, yet there are some people that try to mentally remember everything when they don't need to! Make a list, whether it be on a scrap piece of paper, a notebook or even on your phone; they make all the difference. Here are a few reasons why they are about to become your best friend..

1. A great way to organise your information

If you don’t organize your information, it can be thrown everywhere even a notice board can look messy, but if you take some time to separate it out into different topics or categories it’s a lot less messier and easier to understand.If you're moving house then list what items will go into what room. Simple!

2. They provide a simple structure

If you have to explain something to another human then a list is the easiest way to explain what you mean without using all these fancy diagrams and confusing everyone to death. All you need is the topic of the list and that is it!

3. Plan out your day

If you have a busy day or even week ahead then create a list of what you need to do and order them in highest priority and be sure to do them first. You can break the list up if there is so much to do and remember to ALWAYS give yourself a break! If you have lots of things to do, its much simpler to tackle them in smaller chunks then all in one go. 

5. Make a list about anything

Whatever job you may be doing I am pretty sure that there are things you need to do in work and outside of work, sometimes its the simplest tasks that we tend to forget. If you're a blogger like me, then I love writing lists of different post ideas ect to keep me on track. Along with general everyday to-do lists to help me live a easier life. 

6. They can be fun too

Lists don't only have to be used for all the serious things in life, but also the fun things! I keep a list of all my tv programmes that I watch, I seem to have that many I have to keep track of when the new season airs in the autumn/summer time - without this long list then I would be lost.

Hope you guys enjoyed reading this post, and be sure to check out my blog

What's In My School Beauty Bag? + Tips and Tricks

Its here! The dreaded back to school week, after having 6 weeks of late mornings and late nights, sitting in my pjs till the afternoon. It has come to that time again where I have to wake up in the morning and actually look half decent! I thought for today's post on this Monday morning I would talk you through what is in my beauty bag that I keep in my school bag/handbag and some tips and tricks on looking fresh and feeling amazing all day!
Compressed Deodorant Can// If you haven't get tried these then get your self out of bed right now. These mini cans of deodorant are great for your school bag and handbag because they are so small. The same amount of product just in a smaller bottle.
Body Spray // An essential for me all the time, a small bottle of perfume or body spray has to be with me all the time because I hate smelling of sweat or my lunch and have to have something to spray when I am going to class.
Shine Absorbing Sheets// For all you shiny girls out there, make sure you buy your self a pack of shine absorbing sheets because they come in handy more than you think. If you can't get to the bathroom in time or don't have a mirror at hand then these are super useful to quickly just blot your face before going to school. For me they are great after I have walked to school - a sweaty looking Parie is not a pretty site. If you don't have these then just take some tissue and peel it in half so you are left with a thin sheet and there you go!
Powder + Concealer // Personally, these are the only two items of makeup face wise that I need. Not a big makeup wearer to school as it is so I only take with me the essentials and all important products in this case concealer to cover my bags and spots and then powder to make me look a little bit more alive. 
Lip Balm + Lip Butter // In winter my lips are horrendous and I have to carry with me a lip salve or balm all the time to help me get through the day. Also, I pack with me a Revlon Lip Butter because they are sheer and so easy to apply in a rush and the nude shades are perfect for everyday school wear.
Dry Shampoo // If you do PE at school or any form of sports then I recommend keeping a travel sized bottle of dry shampoo with you because you might just need to give your hair a quick boost. Then tie it in to a messy bun or plait and you will look effortlessly gorgeous!
